His buddy Tua has been likely taking any and all reps involving Waddle this past off season. Would like to see Brissett and his choices in the passing game with a full week of reps. My 1st hope is he finds Mike Gesicki and get the underneath passing game going. Mike has a grand total of 3 catches this season.
Maybe a week of reps and being named the starter ahead of time will help. I don't see Tua being pushed to practice this week and perhaps a late scratch Thur/Fri with the hopes of the following week.
There is probably some validity to this one. Hopkins had 9 or more targets in a game 11 times last year. He's had games with 8 and 4 targets so far.
That, and the ever-present danger of a next-gen QB poaching TDs by running instead of throwing the ball. Plus AZ's defense, to my eye, appears to be improved. Keeping games lower scoring could also reduce the total # of passes in games against less potent offenses.
Should have said games not weeks. My bad. I was in the middle of a nice dish of ice cream chilling out,sorryperhaps you should have posted that on your league board then, cuz most folks around these parts are going 17.
Sounds delicious. Mint Chip?
Fair point, but that was the point of the OP. Not to freak out about every player who underperformed after two weeks, but the possible emergence of trends that may not have existed last year. Things change quickly and using past performance often doesn't pay dividends.
I don't think there is anything wrong with Hopkins. Hopkins is still an elite talent. But he is generally not a huge TD producer (he has had some big TD years in HOU), so people drafted him to get 10 targets a game (he's had 150+ targets in 6 straight years), and I don't see that happening with the emergence of Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk.
I kinda think it would be Higbee, but I can definitely see the targets going up for Woods as well in that circumstance.
I get this to a certain extent, but on the other hand sometimes you need to make a move before the pattern fully develops....I'm not really talking about flat out dropping a guy, but possibly trading a "name" you have a bad feeling about and may become a weight on your roster......sometimes you need to act while there is still some name value etc....granted there is a chance you could be wrong and a guy balls out the rest of the year....but I think there is some value in this thread.....and times where maybe you need to act on your "concern" sooner rather than later....you might get 80 cents on the dollar now, whereas two weeks from now if the pattern and concern continues to develop you can only get half of that....
The chances are greater than 50% TB has a loss by this time next week. At least that's what the analytics say from ESPN and 538 (playing at LAR). But we are a LONG way from giving a 20-0 season by Tampa much thought. ESPN gives a 0.08% likelihood of the Bucs getting through the regular season undefeated. If they got that far and they were a 75% favorite to win each post-season game, that would get them to a 0.03% chance (based on current data). 538 is a little kinder. They give Tampa a 0.45% chance of going 17-0. Using the same 75% chance of winning each playoff game, that ends up at 0.19%.
Great post. Stings that I have shares of 3 of the 4 guys on that list. Of the 4, Laviska seems to be the most problematic. He's a straight cut, imo. Meyer is clueless on how to use him, the offense is horrific, and Marvin Jones has emerged as the true alpha there (with DJ still in the mix). I just don't see it happening for him this year and he is just wasting a bench spot at this point.
Yesterday’s situation tells more than what happened on the field. That team was missing a lot of talent and 8 coaches. I’m biased due to being an optimistic Saints fan, but Kamara produced week 1 and was still electric with Teddy under center. I’m a believer talent always wins out.
I haven't seen Winston pass deeper than 10 yards much. If you going to dink & dunk that is pretty easy for a defense to defend. IMHO
not trying to pile on the guys that drafted M. Davis but I've had a few Atlanta RBs over the last 5-8 years & they just have a bad offensive line to run the ball. seems like forever since they have had even an average run game and a slightly above average RB will not help. IMO
I drafted him knowing that he’s not very talented but figured some PPR volume would be there. I never expected so many touches going to Patterson.
Not at all. I took Chubb with the 11th pick and would do so again. He is a joy to own.
I took Chubb 3rd overall in 0.5 PPR due to his consistent play and the fact he is so damn good. Happy so far.
I would buy at 80 cents of the dollar if you can. He had a bad game.....should have something like 6 rec for 90-95 yds. Some uncharacteristic drops.....not easy catches but ones that AJB should make. And it was the Derrick Henry show in the 2nd half. Plus, TEN crapped the bed in Week 1. The win at SEA was huge.
TEN crapped the bed in week 1 and yesterday was the Derrick Henry show. Tannehill will be fine going forward. Julio had a TD called back on a really close play (it did seem that Julio's foot was touching the chalk). If you thought Tannehill would get 40+ TDs again, you are likely to be disappointed.Tannehill...TD pace is way off last years showing.
Davis is avg right at about 12 PPG in PPR....RB25......hasn't gotten in the zone yet and faced a tough Tampa D is week 2....so you are kinda getting exactly what you paid for at the moment....if game scripts shift his way a little things could turn in his favor.....Patterson ate into the workload a lot more against TB then he did against PHI....so I can see the concern, but not sure that will be the norm anymore than a normal RB2 on a team, but I could be wrong for sure....not sure how it feels compared to like a Zeke/Pollard thing...
Rolling with Metcalf and Woods as my 1-2. "Concern" is probably not the right word, but with Lockett and Kupp running circles around them I'm pretty jealous.Gottabesweet said:
